Intresting Cub.... Its a custom built right? The passenger side sure could use a hand rail or something to hold on to.... Do you have any more pis?

Why I hear tell that after this explaination...Rick went home and he's puttin' together an EXTENDED version of his famous backhoe (with a SECOND SEAT that faces BACKWARDS on the operator's platform) :shock:

Jackman, yes it is a custom job, and George did a fantastic job. I am amazed everytime I see it. There are more pictures at:

George,
Does the second battery box contain a beer cooler, or is it auxiliary power for the air conditioner?

It's a cooler. Very handy at times.

George, looks a wonder!!
Would it be possible to have a photo of the rearview and another of the frontview for those of us who havn't seen it in the flesh?

Pat,

Here's a front view, taken for someone before the tractor ever left the shop. Ask Donny why those perfect original Firestones were replaced.

Just for C.B., the trike at the first Cubarama. Look carefully and you'll see the famous frog on the left deck.

Here's the best rear view I could find. The honorable Bigdog helping the trike pull at CubFest:

I found another, less famous rear view...

I like this rear view of the tractor.

Here are some good shots of the back end from 2005 Cubfesters:

George,
Very many thanks, what an ingenious person you are!

Is it a trade secret or may I ask what you used for a trumpet housing on the LH side, I've racked my brains a bit (doesn't take long) and can't see that turning a Cub trumpet around, upside down.... would work so that the platform etc would all be in the right place, from Lildog's photo I can even see the round mounting plate to the lh side....

The front end seems much easier to visualise with a fabricated steel plate etc on the bottom of the steering box etc. But the backend??

Come on spill the beans George, tell all to uncle pat!

Uncle Pat,

There are no secrets! A right hand axle extention bolts right up. Unfortunately, since the transmission case is lop sided the axle itself is 1 1/4" too short. I was explaining to Rick how I wished I had done it, by machining the case to make it symetrical... it would have been a LOT easier.

The complete story is in a pictorial essay...

Well my nephew George, that is a real eye opener, it takes, as you say, a lot of head scratching to get where you got to, sincere congratulations and thanks for the happy half hour at the screen and for the tub of delicious pop-corn.
Your devoted Uncle, Pat.
